I’ve owned 6 Ecoboost engines spanning 2011 to 2019. Not one failure. Not one repair, just normal maintenance. Good engines.

[@dashcamchronicles7956]

How many miles are you putting on them? I am looking at a F150 with either Ecoboost motor, but want to get at least 200K miles out of it.

[@502Chevy]

My first one, an ‘11 went 140k before I traded it in. It was still running very strong. My wife’s ‘11 Platinum went 60k before trading it in (she gets a new car every 2-3 years). Her second one, a ‘14 Plat went around 60k and then she went into a ‘17 Expedition with the 3.5, 48k on it. I’m currently driving a ‘18 XLT with the 3.5 and she just bought a Lincoln Nautilus with the 2.7. All the 3.5s ran like a top when traded in. For me the key was 5000 mile oil changes with a quality synthetic oil and Motorcraft filter, run top tier gas - we used 89 or 91-93. Motorcraft sparkplugs and air filter every 45-50k. Zero oil consumption on all of them. Don’t be scared to drive the daylights out of the thing, it’s good to keep them blown out. Don’t try to hyper-mile one, they love to be worked.

[@dashcamchronicles7956]

@@502Chevy Completely agree with good oil every 5K. I have 197K on my 2010 Nissan Pathfinder. Change the oil every 5500-6500 miles using Mobil 1. I haven't had to change the plugs, which has shocked me. This thing runs like a top and I definitely don't baby it. Thanks for the reply!

😂😂 dude I literally bought a 2.7 f150 because of this video. I don't have it anymore but it was a really fun drive

[@rdsii64]

The reason is the 2.7L has smaller turbos than the 3.5L. A smaller turbo spools quicker than bigger one. The down side is they don't make the power a big turbo makes. When you take the Raptor and the Ram TRX off the table, the 2.7L F150 is the quickest truck sold in America to 60 MPH. The down side is by the end of the quarter mile its playing second fiddle to the 3.5L. Now when the Hurricane powered Ram hits the streets, this is a brand new ball game.

[@IndependenceIron]

A little bit of it is the engines, but mostly the newer transmissions with 10 gears etc are responsible for these fast times. Put a 4 speed auto in one of these trucks and see how slow it goes.

Don't forget that aluminum body sheds over 700 pounds... AND no rust!

@@IndependenceIron not exactly. 7th gear is 1:1, so you have 3 overdrive gears. My SHO tuned with six gears will do 60 in the same time as the 3.5 truck. Of course I'm a bit lighter but not by much at 4400 pounds. 500+ lb-ft torque from 1500 rpm is pretty motivating no matter the gear 😉. The torque/hp curve is more telling than the max numbers especially when comparing the na to turbo engines.

[@david-sv3kg]

A lot of it is the transmissions keeping the rpm in a tighter band allowing the factory and the tuners to optimize a really narrow region of performance... Older engines had much flatter hp/torque curves die to limited # of gears (which was one reason manuals used to be so much quicker...)

[@dlg5485]

I'm planning on ordering a XLT supercab soon and I'm definitely going with the 2.7 with 3.73 gears. I've done a ton of research on the ecoboost engines and they are truly impressive, especially the 2.7. Most people don't know it but the 2.7 is statistically the most reliable engine sold in the F150. It has fewer warranty claims than all the others, likely due to the stout CGI cylinder block. That alone plus excellent fuel economy and ample capability, it's the perfect fit for my needs. I don't think I'd even bother tuning it. Great video!

There is no comparison if you supercharge a 5.0. Its larger displacement and two more cylinders. The ceiling is much higher with the Coyote but that requires tremendously more dollars spent. On a tight budget you can't beat the Ecoboost. And the 3.5 can make 552whp tuned on e50 and a couple moddest bolt ons. An E85 tuned 5.0 with headers, cold air intake and Boss manifold only gets you to about 475. And you haven't purchased a supercharger yet. But for sure Supercharged Coyote engines are absolutely nasty. And there also numerous videos of Coyote NA guys that have those things moving. This is a dollar for dollar comparison. Ecoboost come from the factory with a power adder and despite the smaller engine, tuning can achieve more with a power adder.

@flamingdragon86 Lol...so I guess what you are trying to say is that all of the brilliant minds that have gotten the na Coyote to 475whp just haven't figured it out yet? Everything I have said is dead on. I guess you have a 552whp 5.0 Coyote with nothing but an e50 tune, CAI and a catback exhaust. You ought to be advertising it, your secrets will make you rich. You can do anything you put your mind to and without spending money. Good luck. Again, if you buy a new 5.0 F150 and a new 3.5 Ecoboost F150 and a maximum of 1000.00 bucks in mods is all that is allowed, the Coyote has no chance. It has a higher ceiling with extra money because it is the same DOHC 4V technology and more cubic inches, it doesn't come with a power adder straight off the lot. And a 5.0 na Coyote can scream, with catless longtubes etc. Again $$$$$. This video is about 3 of the offerings available in an F150, with a tune and the 5.0 lost. The comment I replied to was someone stating that they would like to see them up against a Supercharged Coyote. Why? Thats not an equal comparison. Superchargers aren't free. That is a major additional cost. If money doesn't matter I'd like to see my tuned 2.7 Ecoboost F150 up against a Twin Turbo Coyote Promod.

I had a 2019 F150 with a 3.5 turbo, 3.73 axle. Used it to tow a 4800 lbs(dry wt) Winnebago Micro Minnie, with gear was about 5500 lbs. Used a reputable weight distribution hitch. Plenty of power whenever needed, BUT engine temp ran up to the red line whenever pulling up a modest grade, without over accelerating (60 mph). Often the turbos would shut down until temps returned to the normal range. Dealership and another shop could find nothing wrong, just saying "turbos run hot". To me, it felt like not if there was going to be a major overheating problem, but matter of when. Moved to a 2021 F250 with a 7.3 gas (non-turbo), with great luck. 25,000 miles so far towing a larger trailer (5800 lbs Winn. 2529RG with a lot of cargo in the truck bed, tons of power AND the temp gage has never even wiggled, even when towing in Montana hills this summer in sustained 100+ degree weather.

When I was out of sight from the dealership I opened that bad boy up and, HOLY SH_T, I said to myself "This V-8 is freaking awesome!"

Ain't no way!!" I was totally floored by how powerful it was. I still wouldn't own one simply because 1) I drive a 2013 Expedition (5.4L), and 2) I pull a 22' boat (roughly 4-5,000 lbs w/ trailer). If I drove a pickup truck as a daily commuter and maybe some light duty hauling, I would definitely put the 2.7L on my list. The one drawback I might have would be the resale value.

Let's have a follow-up video of how the trucks fared over 250K miles.

[@curtis1951]

None of them will make it that far. In fact they needed about $8000 worth of warranty work after this video. 😉

[@Mmmyess]

@@curtis1951 Exactly. Except their warranties have all be voided by the modifications/tuning. My money is on the V8 for being most likely to make it to 250K...or 100K.

[@curtis1951]

@@Mmmyess hell yeah. If I was to buy one I would only get the 5.0. wouldn't touch the other engine's.

[@Pilot545]

chad Spidle That’s such BS and really shows your ignorance. You literally just made that up. I have been running 5 Stars E50 tune on my truck for nearly a year now. Zero issues. Go somewhere else with your BS. 5 Star tunes are real and keep all engine protections in place.

[@curtis1951]

@@Pilot545 No shit I made it up dumbass. Can't you tell when someone is joking? Besides, I didn't comment on the tunes voiding warranties, that was Mmmyess.

[@NewtonWashinton]

the 2.7 had a advantage with the smaller cab lighter weight. all in all good testing. thanks for the info.

[@kieferr1194]

I’m sold haha I need to get one of these tunes!
